 Book number three of a six book and one novella paranormal romance fantasy series.  I read the well printed and well bound MMPB published by Avon in 2017 that I just bought new from Amazon.  I have the other four books and the novella in the series and will read those soon.
 Totally cool series for me.  This makes the fourth series that I have read from Ilona Andrews, a husband and wife writing team based here in Texas.  The Innkeeper, Kate Daniels, and The Edge are the other series of books.
 The Hidden Legacy Universe is a complex place.  The Osiris serum that induced magical powers in humans was released to the general public in 1863 and the world was never the same.  The serum was banned after a while but the world was irreparably changed.  Families starting breeding children for strength in magical powers with breathtaking results. Magic users are segregated into five ranks: Minor, Average, Notable, Significant, and Prime.  The Prime families operate mostly outside the law since they are so powerful and incredibly dangerous.
 Nevada Baylor runs a very small detective agency in Houston, Texas ( ! ) that usually works on scammers and divorce cases.  She is a 25 year old hidden Prime Truthseeker, she can unerringly tell lies from truths and can sometimes force people to emit truths.  Her mother and father started the detective agency but there is a huge mortgage to a Prime Family that funded the effort to try to save her father from cancer. The effort failed and left them with a huge mortgage when Nevada was 17.
 Connor "Mad" Rogan is a Prime Telekinetic and a noted combat veteran, famous and feared for leveling a village in the Mexican-Belize war.  He is a billionaire with a private army and wants Nevada Baylor very badly.   So badly that he bought all of the property around the Baylor household in a one mile radius so he can protect Nevada and her family.
 Nevada and Connor's first meeting was when he kidnapped her and chained her to the floor in his house basement.  Things have gotten better since then.  Mostly.  Now that Nevada is filing to create her own house, she is being listed as a Prime too.  So is her middle sister Catalina, a siren.  But, several people want to stop the creation of the House of Baylor, including her very estranged grandmother that Nevada has never met.
 The authors have a very active website at:

Amazon rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars (12,261 reviews)
